Muggy.

Yesterday.

We had another lovely sunset at the end of a very hot day. Even after the sun had dropped down below a distant cloudbank the beach was filled with families cooling off in the calm sea. A number of people were still there after 10.00.

Zooming in with the camera produced this intense (but misleading) photo.

Today has been warm and humid with a lot of clouds, the occasional moment of hot sun and a few short showers. I'm sure I heard the odd rumble of thunder too. Probably more of a typical summer's day to mark the solstice and the official start of summer.

I've spent the day trying to do as little walking around as possible but I did go round to my neighbours' garden to pick these sweet peas. I'd been invited to do so as there won't be anyone there this weekend and you get more flowers if you pick them as soon as they open.

Peter went rowing first thing and then into town to do some shopping at Lidl. I'd stocked up on non-perishables but we needed fresh fruit and veg and the odd thing that I had forgotten.
